Jaco and Jimmy Paige on YouTube

[MikeyFingers]

Now I'm sure most Jaco fans have heard the story of Jaco and Jimmy meeting up by chance in a club one night. From what I heard, Jimmy Paige was a bit reluctant but Jaco managed to convince him to get onstage and jam with him.
Needless to say, it's one of the rarest and most unheard recordings of either Jaco OR Jimmy ever, but some guy on YouTube claims to have it.
Here's what he posted:

What do you think? At the end of the track, they introduce Jimmy Paige by name, but no mention of Jaco. Personally, I call BS.


And since this topic is surely full of potential arguments, let's keep the mood light. I give you Manhattan Transfer performing Weather Report's "Birdland"

That would be Jimmy Page, as in page of a book.

Just getting here before the hardcore Zep fans... who will be much less kind.

BS?...well, his name mentioned or not, it's definitely Jaco singin' it, playin' it, and sayin' it.

edit, listened again, and one of the first guitar licks right at "1:30" (short as it is) sounds like Page.(?)

Is it such an unfathomable scenario?

It sounds like it could be Jaco saying it...but I'm not really sure, it could easily be fake. Plus I'm not too sure on the Jaco sound, but I skipped parts to get to the end to hear Jimmy Page's name...so not really sure at all.

forget the 'sound', it's a crappy recording, listen to his playing, it's definitely him, albeit playing a little more mellow than you may be used to hearing him play that tune.

It's 100% Jaco. Not sure about Jimmy (never listened to him much), but I'll take Jaco's word for it.
